Editorial Review: Product Description: Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon, Francois Truffaut Amazon.co.uk Review: The first Steven Spielberg film to arrive on a high definition format, there’s something fittingly comprehensive about the Blu-ray release of Close Encounters of the Third Kind that befits such a strong, high-profile disc. The reason for that is that three different cuts of Close Encounters are presented in this terrific set; there’s the original cinematic version that debuted in 1977, the different cut that surfaced in the 80s, and Spielberg’s final take on the film from the late 90s. It’s arguable that each of the three has its highs and lows, and there’s something fascinating about comparing the trio too. As for the film itself? Close Encounters is the terrific tale of Richard Dreyfuss’ Roy Neary, who discovers a UFO in the middle of the night. Co-starring Teri Garr, Francois Truffaut and Melinda Dillon, the film then follows the attempt to bring the aliens to Earth, and--coupled with terrific special effects, particularly for the era--Close Encounters is rightly regarded as a deserved classic. The Blu-ray release is also spectacular, partly for the comprehensive nature of the package, but also down to the gleaming audio and picture quality. It may not be the highest profile Spielberg movie, and there’s certainly a deep back catalogue calling out for the high-definition treatment. But don’t let that blind you: Close Encounters is an absolute treat, and this is the best way outside of a cinema to enjoy it. --Jon Foster Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KINDExellent conversion to Blu-ray. A bit grainy in parts but gives this classic film a new lease of life. Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray] [1977] Rating: - Several versions floating aroundThe basic story is of a line repairman who encounters a UFO and has trouble relating this to his wife that is in denial. There are parallel stories of others encountering UFO's. Eventually the government is also contacted and sets up a meeting. The encountered have also been compelled to attend to the government's consternation. Will the other invitees make it to the rendezvous point? What trials and tribulations must they endure on the way? The lighter version (ASIN: 0767827031) of the film. This is closer to the original but still not the one shown on TV. I bought this after I realized I had the darker version. Amazon.com did the research for me The dark version (ASIN: 0800198395) that cut out all the comic scenes ... Read More: Rating: - Very, very Close to perfection, but not quite.Cool case. Fairly good booklet. Awe inspiring movie. Almost flawless transfer. Some old special features. Close Encounters is a very thought provoking sci fi movie that is one of my favourite Spielberg jobs. Both writing and directing, he brings a wonderful sense of storytelling to the picture and of course there's the great performances from Richard Dreyfuss et al. and the masterfully memorable music by John Williams. Sure, it's not a hi-octane, pulse-pounding roller coaster ride, but the mystery and suspense achieved throughout the film as well as the captivating cinematography and heartwarming ideas behind it make for a true classic. The first of Spielberg's to grace high definition, Close ...

For this price, it is an absolute must buy, I can assure you. From when you first have the item in your hand, you can tell it has not just been cobbled together. It is the nicest Blu-Ray for the money you can purchase. Don't be fooled by amazon's picture of the standard bluray case, it is not presented in a plastic case at all, it is SO much better than that, Such a surprise to find that as soon as you open your parcel, you have got something that looks like it should be double or even treblethe money I payed for it. The Hard cover is a thing of quality, very thick stuff which ... Read More: |
